Making Parallax Modules Wireless with XBee modules

Tymkrs

Been in the talks for a couple of months and it's now done! I've taken all of the modules I've worked with previously and made them transmit their information wirelessly via XBee! I think when all of the videos are done for it, I'll put out another post with those links.

Glad you guys like what's being done and also for listening to the shows - we always enjoy hearing from those who listen what they think about it!

So this is a completed project in and of itself, but I didn't want to make a new thread for it since it's in the same grain of this project:

It uses two PropBoes, XBees Series 1, and the Emic2

And then a wireless security system with xbees too!
